Ma Xiaolan heard the dog barking and knew that someone was visiting, so she walked out of the yard to take a look.

Xiaomei recognized the little grandmother from afar: "Grandma, I'm Xiaomei, show us the dog." ”

Ma Xiaolan also recognized Xiaomei, and immediately stopped the four big dogs.

When the four big dogs saw their owners coming, they naturally ran away and slipped away.

When Ma Xiaolan saw Xiaomei and the others, she was very cordial: "It's you, how long haven't you seen you, come with me." ”

"Is Grandpa Gao at home?" Muzi asked eagerly.

"I went with the staff to spray the fruit trees early in the morning," Ma Xiaolan said to the carp with a smile, "Why don't you go to the orchard to find him and let him come back?" ”

"Then I'll go look for him." He replied.

"I'll go too." The fourth girl followed closely.

"Don't worry, put the bicycle in the yard in a while, I'll go with you, I also want to see the orchard."

"Come home with me first, and then it's not too late to go after a while."

Ma Xiaolan said, and took Xiaomei and the three into the courtyard.

The yard is clean, and although the main house and the wing rooms have been dilapidated, they still retain some of the grandeur of the landlord's compound in those years.

Old man Gao and Ma Xiaolan live in the main house, and the other wings are the orchard, deer farm and staff dormitories, canteens and tool rooms.

In the cafeteria, a young woman with a baby on her back is preparing lunch for her employees.

This young woman is none other than the chubby Li Chang's daughter-in-law Xinghua. Xinghua is a generous woman, with a beautiful appearance and a likable appearance.

Who is Chubby?

Chubby is an employee of the orchard, and he is the crush of Baiqiu, the younger sister of the yak, and now he has his own wife and children.

One of the young two is busy with the orchard and garden, and the other is busy cooking for everyone, and they usually live here.

Seeing Xiaomei, Yakzi and the four girls coming, Xinghua walked out of the kitchen and greeted everyone: "Hi, my name is Xinghua, I'm so happy to see you." Xinghua said to Xiaomei, "You are Xiaomei, I always listen to the old man talk about you, this time I saw the real fairy." I guess this is the fourth girl, I have wanted to see you for a long time, this brother must be a yak, a big name. ”

"Hello, Sister Xinghua, I've heard of you a long time ago, the child is so cute, how old is it?" Xiaomei took the child's little hand, but she didn't expect the child to cry when she saw the living.

"It's less than two birthdays, look, it's not promising." Xinghua said and followed everyone into the house.

This room is very large, the kitchen is in the back, there is a small kang in the front room, there are a few old tables and chairs on the ground, in addition to the antique kang cabinet in the house, the most conspicuous thing is a war knife with a red tassel and a double-barreled hunting gun hanging on the wall, which should be the favorite of the old man Gao.

Ma Xiaolan and Xinghua poured a teapot of water for each person, Xiaomei took out a bowl with dumplings, and Ma Xiaolan accepted it gratefully.

After sitting for a while, Xiaomei and the fourth girl went to the orchard with the yakzi, and Ma Xiaolan began to prepare lunch alone at home.

There are not many orchards here, but there are orchards on the south and north slopes, planted with apricots, plums, sand fruits, and mountain pears, and the mountains are red, and there are also cherries and grapes.

Walking into the orchard, there is a fresh smell, looking at the green fruits on the fruit trees, picking one and tasting it, it is immediately sour and refreshing.

Listening to the voice, he judged the location of the old man Gao and the staff, and he led Xiaomei and the four girls in that direction.

"Hey, what do you guys do?" Someone found them on the skew.

"I'm a yak from Xingfutun, and I'm here to find Grandpa Gao." He replied loudly.

"Hey, look, there's a beautiful woman coming." Someone is greeting employees.

A tall, thin old man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of them.

"Stinky boy, okay, you have handed in the peach blossom luck, why every time you come to me, you are accompanied by a big girl? Last time it was my granddaughter, and this time there is another one, saying, what are you doing with my granddaughter? Old man Gao had a serious face.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Xiaomei was told by the old man Gao that her face was feverish.

"Xiaomei, don't let me say, I've been observing you for a long time, I think your affairs will definitely be difficult to do in the future, if you don't believe it, I'll leave the words here, grandpa has walked more roads than you have crossed bridges, who is what, I can see at a glance, the little devil was amazing? No, we have calculated it again and again, and your grandfather will know what kind of poop eggs to pull as soon as they pout their butts. ”

"Look at how disgusting you say," Xiaomei said unconvinced, "Grandpa, then guess what delicious food I brought you today?" ”

"Dumplings, leek and egg filling." Old man Gao replied immediately.

"How do you know?" Xiaomei had to admire.

"This kid doesn't eat less, and his panting is full of dumpling filling." Old man Gao said.

"Grandpa Gao, you're right, that's it, I smelled it early."

The fourth girl gave a confirmation, which made the yakzi look embarrassed.

When his granddaughter came to see her grandfather, Old Man Gao was very happy.

The employees of the orchard also stopped their work at this time and came to see Xiaomei, a little fairy, to feast their eyes.

The old man was obviously not interested in what he wanted to ask, but he responded lightly: "." ”

He thought that if he wanted Old Man Gao to help, he had to take his time in this matter, and he couldn't rush it for a while.

Old man Gao arranged for the employees to continue to work, and he accompanied Xiaomei, Yanzi and the four girls to walk around the orchard for a while, and suddenly thought of something.

"Let's go, you come with me to the reservoir and see if you have any luck today."

Old man Gao said, not allowing everyone to disagree, he walked ahead.

"Grandpa, what are you doing in the reservoir?" Xiaomei asked.

"Catch the fish, Brother Yakzi, do you say?" The fourth girl judged.

"If you don't take anything, how can you catch it?" Xiaomei was puzzled.

"The old man must have a way, just go and you'll know." Yakzi explained.

The old man Gao only led the way forward, and his powerful steps were not lost to the young man, and he went down the hillside, and after a while, he came to the small reservoir.

This is a reservoir naturally formed by relying on Xianlu Mountain Spring, the reservoir is not large, and the embankment has been repaired.

The view here is broad, the scenery is pleasant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. The legendary Xianlu Spring in Xingfutun is located upstream of the reservoir and is the source of the Luquan River.

Old man Gao didn't take nothing, he came prepared, leaning on the side of the mountain, he had already prepared a raft and a fish basket.

When he came to the raft, the old man said to the yak, "Young man, go, follow me to the fish cage." ”

The old man didn't say a word, pulled up his trousers, took off his shoes, and followed the old man Gao to untie the raft and push it into the water, the old man Gao supported it with a wooden pole, and the raft slowly sailed to the deep water, and the reeds were swinging in the distance.

It turned out that Old Man Gao had already placed several wicker cages near the reeds.

"Old man, you are really living a fairy life." Yakzi said enviously.

"Don't pat me on the back, do the gods have fish to eat? Not necessarily! The fish here are all wild, so I'm afraid that your life is not good and you won't be able to catch a big one. ”

The tall old man propped up the raft to a wooden pole stuck in the water and stopped.

He found ropes tied to the wooden pole. He didn't wait for the old man Gao's command, untied the rope, and slowly pulled out of the cage.

The ground cage may have been stuck by something, and it couldn't be pulled up for a long time.

In this case, Old Man Gao had nothing else to do. Seeing the opportunity, he immediately took off his clothes, put on only pants, and jumped into the water with a thud.

The water was nearly as deep as a person, and the mullet dived to the bottom of the water despite the coldness, and moved the ground cage away from the stuck tree roots, and then surfaced and got on the raft.

Old man Gao witnessed the actions of the yak and praised him: "Okay, young man, my granddaughter is not wrong, she is bloody, clean and neat, she will not be wrong in the future, I like it, accompany me to drink a few more drinks at noon." ”

"What's the matter, none of our croppers have come here." He wiped the water on his face and said, "Grandpa Gao, it seems to be a big fish." ”

"Really? That's great, quick, drag it up and see. "Old man Gao is very happy.

The ground cage is two meters long, thick in the middle and narrow at the end. Before the cage could be dragged up, he heard fish fluttering and jumping in the cage.

"It's really a big fish, it seems that you are lucky." The old man Gao said, and together with the yak, carefully pulled the ground cage onto the raft.

The yak couldn't wait to check the ground cage, and sure enough, he hit a big catfish, which was one and a half feet long and weighed two or three catties, as well as a few small catfish and more than a dozen crucian carp and white tickets. It's just a cage.

The old man Gao instructed the yak to put the small catfish, small crucian carp, and trash fish back into the water, and only pick the big ones and keep them.

In this way, Yakzi and Old Man Gao set up a few more ground cages and harvested three large catfish and more than a dozen crucian carp.

The ground cage continued to be put into the water, and the yak wanted to put on his clothes and pants while wearing wet pants, and the old man Gao said sarcastically: "Don't be useless, like a girl, afraid of hanging, take off the pants, wring them out and pick them up, dry them and wear them again." ”

In the distance, the two girls were watching, and the yaki hesitated.

"What's the matter, who are afraid of seeing it? They don't have binoculars, and they have to see it sooner or later, so what are you afraid of? ”

This old man's words are invincible, which makes him cry and laugh.

The yak is embarrassed, but the old man Gao is reasonable, and these pants really can't be worn wet.

"Grandpa Gao, please block it for me."

"What are you blocking, let them see, you don't even have this bit of courage, what kind of man are you?"

Helplessly, he looked to the shore, about 200 meters away, and it was estimated that he could not see clearly, so he sat on the raft, blocked it with a fish basket, quickly took off his trousers, and put on his pants and shirt.

The trousers were picked up by the tall old man with a wooden pole and inserted into the raft, like a banner of victory.

The yak and the tall old man propped up the raft and returned with a full load.

Xiaomei and the fourth girl couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the embarrassed appearance of the yak and the patched torn pants on the wooden pole, but they were very excited when they saw the big fish in the fish basket.

"You guys are here today, it seems that my granddaughter is blessed, I haven't caught such a big fish in normal times, let's go, go home and grandpa will stew fish for you."

The old man put the raft back and handed the fish basket to the yak, and he put his hands behind his back, feeling quite accomplished.

"I also have more than 20 rabbits on the side of the mountain, these fish are enough for us to eat today, next time I come, I will stew rabbit meat for you."

"Grandpa, I want to see the rabbit." Xiaomei loves small animals.

"I want to see it too." The fourth girl was also interested.

"Let's go, I'll take you there, not far from home."

The old man Gao said, walking in front, and after a while, he came to a green meadow on the side of the mountain, a group of rabbits were foraging for food by themselves, and when they saw someone coming, these white rabbits and gray rabbits not only did not dodge, but ran over and squatted at the feet of people.
